The wife of the late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has said he was killed by poisoning while serving a prison sentence in an Arctic penal colony in 2024. In a video shared on social media, Yulia Navalnaya said analysis of smuggled biological samples carried out by laboratories in two countries showed that her husband had been murdered. She did not provide details on the poison allegedly used, but challenged the laboratories to publish their results. Navalny, an anti-corruption campaigner, died suddenly in jail on February 16, 2024, at the age of 47. His supporters have always maintained that the Russian government was involved in his demise. Navalnaya stated that after her husband's death, his team managed to secure biological samples that indicated he had been poisoned. She criticized the laboratories for not releasing their findings due to alleged 'political considerations'. They don’t want an inconvenient truth to surface at the wrong time, she claimed. Back in 2020, Navalny was previously poisoned with a Novichok nerve agent and had undergone treatment in Germany. At the time of his death, he had been in jail for three years on charges widely seen as politically motivated. Navalnaya expressed her determination to continue raising awareness about her husband's death, highlighting it as part of a larger narrative against political oppression in Russia.
